THANK YOU, TEACHER: GRATEFUL STUDENTS TELL THE STORIES OF THE TEACHERS WHO CHANGED THEIR LIVES

Book ID/图书代码： 09778015B85353

English Summary/英文概要： What do rock superstars, Nobel laureates, bestselling novelists, astronauts, and attorneys general have in common? A teacher changed their lives. In 1993, when actor Tom Hanks received a Best Actor Oscar he thanked his high school drama teacher. Like Hanks, many can name a teacher who gave them not only good instruction but also confidence and drive. But, in the face of teachers being blamed for a variety of social and economic woes, teachers themselves can easily wonder whether they are making a difference in students’ lives. When veteran teacher Bruce Holbert asked himself this question, his wife, Holly Holbert, responded by sending letters to hundreds of people she had never met and had no reason to believe would respond, asking about teachers who mattered to them. She was overwhelmed by answers. Thank You, Teacher presents more than eighty of these up-close-and-personal stories. By a delightfully diverse range of contributors (from acclaimed writer George Saunders to PBS chef Daisy Martinez), these essays are wise and witty testaments to the teachers who do what they do every day without expecting recognition, but who so richly deserve it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 摇滚明星、诺贝尔奖得主、畅销书作家、宇航员还有律师，他们有什么共同点呢？一个老师改变了他们的人生。1993年，当演员汤姆•汉克斯获得奥斯卡奖时，他感谢了自己的高中戏剧老师。和汉克斯一样，有许多人都能至少报出一个老师的名字，不仅给予了他们专业上的指导，还使他们充满自信和动力。但是老师经常因为各种社会和经济困境而遭受指责，他们自己也经常怀疑他们是否给学生的生活带来了改变。当退休教师布鲁斯•哈伯特问他自己这个问题时，他的妻子，何莉•哈伯特是以这样的方式回答的。她寄信给几百个素未谋面也无法确认他们是否会回信的人，问他们老师是否在他们的人生中产生了重大的作用。然而收到的回复令何莉震惊。《老师，谢谢你》中包含了80余个真实的故事，这些学生中包括著名的作家乔治•桑德斯、PBS的主厨黛西•马汀斯。这本书告诉读者，可能老师并没意识到自己的行为给学生的一生产生了深远的影响。（XAT）
